A
Evangeline is on the road
               E
Just barely seventeen
                  A-D-E
When she left home    
E                     A
Don't know where she is
                  D
Or where she's goin'
              A              E              A-D-A
She is the queen of make believe, Evangeline    
A               E                  A
I can still remember that little girl
                  E                       A
Black eyes just starin' at this big old world
              D                  A
Went off to find some American dream
                 E      D                      A-D-A
Train ticket in one hand and her new blue jeans    

CHORUS
BREAK
She went out dancin' on a Saturday night
Silk stockings and high heels
Blue liner on her eyes
Come Sunday mornin'
She's all alone
Head lyin' on the night stand
By the telephone

CHORUS

she is the queen of make believe, Evangeline
